Siding Services for Union Homeowners
The siding failures we find in Union are almost never dramatic — they’re slow moisture intrusion at failed caulk joints, cracked corner boards, and window casing that was never properly flashed. By the time it’s visible, it’s been building for years.
Nail Force installs James Hardie, LP SmartSide, CertainTeed (under our SidingMaster Credentialing), and Provia in Union. On older homes, fiber cement holds paint long-term and can be installed to match original profiles. On mid-century and newer homes, premium vinyl is a strong lower-maintenance option. We check the sheathing and housewrap condition before recommending a material — that’s where long-term performance starts.

Siding Questions — Union, NJ
If yours isn’t here, call us. We’ll give you a real answer.
New siding does improve performance on older Union homes, but the mechanism isn’t what most people think. Yes, especially on older homes with minimal wall insulation. Insulated vinyl siding adds a continuous layer of rigid foam that reduces thermal bridging through the studs. Fiber cement with a foam backer accomplishes the same. On a drafty older home in Union, properly detailed new siding with insulated backing can make a noticeable difference in heating costs.
We carry both to Union jobs and the choice comes down to the specific home and situation. LP SmartSide is an engineered wood siding that’s lighter than Hardie fiber cement, easier to install, and has a wood grain texture that looks natural on older homes. It’s treated with zinc borate to resist rot and insects. In Union, it’s a strong alternative to Hardie on homes where the engineered wood look fits better or where budget is a factor.
We inspect all sheathing for rot, soft spots, and moisture damage, replace any compromised sections, install or replace housewrap with proper lapping and taping, and flash all window and door openings. On older Union homes, this prep phase often reveals problems that the old siding was hiding — we document everything and walk you through what we find.
